Cytoskeleton rearrangements promote formation of a giant structure called a GUVac that stops cells from dying when they become detached from the extracellular matrix.

Have students compare the photos with diagrams of the cytoskeleton and discuss the differences. Practice engaging students in rounds of deliberate, thorough description (in the absence of ...

Actin proteins group together to form a network of thin filaments that spread throughout a cell. This actin network is dynamic, meaning that the filaments can either grow or shrink to fit the ...

Spectacular progress has been made in our understanding of the physical processes that underlie the functions and mechanisms of cytoskeletal proteins. For example, the atomic structures of actin ...

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made of filamentous proteins, and it provides mechanical support to the cell and its cytoplasmic constituents. All cytoskeletons consist of three major ...

We aim to understand the molecular logic behind the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton at endocytic sites and how disturbances in this process affect physiology and disease progression. Leonardo is ...

An international team of scientists led by Université de Montréal medical professor Frédéric Charron, director of the ...

Our current projects are the following: Structure & function of heterodimeric kinesin motor domains, interactions of microtubules with MAPs, and structural studies on the Giardia cytoskeleton.

In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions ... approach combining state-of-the-art techniques in cell biology, biochemistry ...

We have 3 major areas of research; 1) alterations to the skeleton within host cells (the cytoskeleton), 2) strategies bacteria use to gain entry to their host cells and spread from one cell to another ...
